SUMMARY:The 4th Witch
DESCRIPTION:The 4th Witch is a fantastic new tale\, inspired by elements of Shakespeare’s Macbeth\, in which a girl escapes war and seeks protection from three witches. They agree to take her on as an apprentice with only one condition: she must never use her powers for revenge. Consumed by grief and rage\, the girl comes to realize that it was Macbeth who killed her parents. Now she must choose between reconciliation or vengeance. \nTold through inventive practical effects executed in plain sight\, the troupe brilliantly employs shadow puppetry\, live music and actors in silhouette\, to create an entire new world in The 4th Witch. Manual Cinema has built a devoted fanbase in Boston over the course of their thrilling past productions at ArtsEmerson including Ada/Ava and Frankenstein. Do not miss their triumphant return this fall!

SUMMARY:The Road to Revolution: Massachusetts and the Independence Movement
DESCRIPTION:Explore major Massachusetts events in the first year of the American Revolution at the Old State House\, where protest turned into action and the momentum for independence accelerated.

It delves into the tensions\, choices\, and consequences that defined this pivotal time\, providing a deeper understanding of the people who shaped America’s fight for independence.

SUMMARY:FREE Downtown Innovation Trail Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Discover Boston’s hidden history in science\, technology\, entrepreneurship\, and social change! \n\n\n\n\nBoston already has plenty of tours that focus on the American Revolution. So we created one that focuses on inventions\, entrepreneurship\, and social change — ways Boston changed the world\, both before and after the Revolution. \nWe’ll talk about the importance of the schools and colleges created here in the 1600s; one of the first “clinical trials” conducted in North America\, which saved countless Bostonians from smallpox; one of the country’s most impressive Black inventors; the connection between an MIT startup and “The Wizard of Oz”; and women who protested and went to jail to gain voting rights. We’ll also talk about one of America’s first millionaires\, whose fortune was built on ice cream and cocktails. \nWe’ll share some artifacts and fun activities with you\, and create some opportunities for great photos. \nIf you want to understand what makes Boston unique\, and you’re interested in STEM\, entrepreneurship\, or social change movements\, this tour is especially for you! \nFor more info about the Innovation Trail\, check out our website: https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/. \nFree tickets to this event are available thanks to a generous grant from Boston 250\, a public-private partnership between the City of Boston and private sector partners\, including Meet Boston\, State Street\, The Boston Foundation\, John Hancock\, Eastern Bank\, Liberty Mutual\, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts\, Vertex Pharmaceuticals\, and PNC Bank.

Growing up\, I would shop downtown for new sneaker releases and albums\, go to the movies\, and I spent ALOT of time in the Corner Mall. It’s nostalgic and full-circle to now have my own business temporarily in Downtown Boston. I hope this residency gives today’s kids and my peers a glimpse of the excitement we used to feel. It’s a new day\, and I want to bring that sense of hope back to my community.” — Nan\, Madrugada’s creator/curator
